59. The stupids in charge.

Because we remember how the last WAR FOR OIL worked out.

BUSH/CHENEY 2003: Saddam Hussein definitely had Weapons of Mass Destruction (Nuclear, Chemical, Biological) that he might use at some time and he had to be stopped! (Clue: UNSCOM reported that Iraq had essentially been disarmed since 1998. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice cooked up and distorted intelligence so they/we could invade Iraq)

3/20/2003: US and allies invade Iraq blowing up all the oil fields.

5/1/2003: Bush puts on pilot flight suit and lands on USS Abraham Lincoln to claim the Iraq war is over. (Except it isn't)

12/18/2011: The US military finally leaves Iraq never having found any Weapons of Mass destruction.

Total cost of this folly:

4508 US military men and women killed. Brought home in caskets, buried by grieving mothers, fathers, wives, and children.
32,292 US military wounded.
47,541 US military permanently disabled.

$1.8 Trillion USDollars spent to date, with another $1 Trillion USDollars expected to be spent on Veteran Care over the next 25 years.

Who got rich? Defense contractors.

Halliburton (Dick Cheney was it's former CEO and remained a major shareholder as Vice-President) made over $140 Billion in no-bid contracts.

Blackwater, a private security company founded by Eric Prince made over $1.2 Billion in no-bid contracts. It's employees committed war crimes in executing unarmed Iraqi civilians in 2007. Those four convicted war criminals were later pardoned by - Donald Trump.

Lockheed-Martin made over $1.6 Billion in sales of planes, missiles and support, raising profits 41% in 2003.

Bechtel made over $2 Billion to repair the infrastructure shit we blew up by invading in the first place.

Let us also remember that over $9 Billion in USDollars vanished into thin air as we flew plane loads of freshly minted $100 Dollar bills to Iraq to pay off the local warlords.

Now, Donald Trump and his cast of clowns, Hegseth, Rubio, Miller, Vance, who are already war-criminals, are just going to invade Venezuela and occupy it at no cost in dollars or lives because.....
